Yeah, I do alot of smudging and stuff. I just started a month or so ago, but it is becoming addictive.
Here are some example:
I might smudge some of your horses but I have a rule. No appaloosa's. Sorry, but I can't do appy's. They are really hard
Also, I love comments, so bring em on
I have a bit of a suggestion. Do you lock your layer before you smudge? This will help them look a lot neater. It's also a personal opinion, but I think they look better with a light smudge on a lower opacity. An example of one of my smudges

Again, I like to keep the muscle tone in
A good way to do this is to duplicate your layer, smudge the bottom one, and then reduce the opacity on the top layer
:)
Great work.
Mine is bye no means perfect. It'll about your own style.
It stops you from drawing outside any of the work that is already there. Say you had a circle drawn and you locked the layer, you could work within the circle but it wouldn't draw or smudge out of it
